Last day you'd dare do your T-Giving shopping?

Last Thanksgiving, we waited until Wednesday afternoon to shop and ended up with a ham and no sage. It's not Thanksgiving without turkey and sage.

I just came from the store and it was a zoo with loads of people buying their turkeys and whatnot. We're doing thanksgiving about 4 hours away, and are driving up some time on Wednesday (potentially not arriving until very late Wednesday night.) I'm trying to decide if I will shop once we get into the mountains on Wednesday, or Tuesday evening here in San Francisco, keep it in a cooler in the garage, and then drive it up with us.

I feel like, if I pull the trigger too soon, we'll have old-ass fixin's. If I pull it too late, we end up chopping the head off a Peking duck.
